Buying gifts for the holidays doesn't have to be stressful — or leave you broke come January.

In order to avoid a shocking bank account statement as the year draws to a close, make a list of who you need to buy for, then try to spread your purchases across two pay cheques by starting your shopping in November.

Make a realistic budget for each person, too.

To make it easy to stick to what you can afford yet still give gifts they'll actually want this year, INSIDER has compiled a list of 100 gift ideas for $100 or less.

From toys and treats for kids to cult beauty buys and classic wardrobe staples for the older crowd, scroll down for all the gift inspiration you'll need this year, ranked from most affordable to more splurge-worthy.
